John Cammett's collaboration with the Gramsci Institute Foundation began in the spring of 1989. John had prepared an international biography of studies on Gramsci's life and writings, which, with help from some young researchers at the Foundation, he presented during the Institute's conference on ‘Gramsci in the World’ (Formia, October 1989) that resulted in the birth of the International Gramsci Society. The bibliography was first published in 1991 in the first volume of the Annali of the Gramsci Institute, and in revised and updated form again in 1993. Subsequently, it was digitized and, under John's direction, regularly updated by Francesco Giasi and Luisa Righi: when it went online in 2005 it became the key instrument for internationalizing Gramsci studies. After 1989, the Institute had been able to resume its research in the Komintern archives and was receiving the flow of new documents from the private papers of the Gramsci-Schucht family in Moscow which gave rise to a new set of studies on Gramsci's political and family life between 1926 and 1937. The new National Edition of Gramsci's writings, which in the case of the Notebooks benfits from the developments Gramscian philology accomplished by Gianni Francioni, is part of this same project to which John Cammett's contributions were unceasing and passionate. The international expansion of Gramsci studies is something that Italian scholars now take very seriously and provide a basis for the rewarding international exchanges that occurred at the conferences on ‘Gramsci and the 20th Century’ (1997) and ‘Gramsci in His Age’ (2007) promoted by the Foundation, which in 2007 launched Gramsci Studies in the World. Perhaps the Foundation would never have ventured down this challenging path had it not been for the encouragement and support offered by the pioneering studies from which our collaboration with John originated
